Quest Online Homework

• Quest has an online question bank of math and science questions available for creating homework assignments.
• The interface provides teachers with the flexibility to pick and chose specific questions and grading schemes to meet the needs of their classes, such as:
  • Setting grade boundaries
  • Students receive results as they work
  • Students may have the opportunity to fix missed questions (for a decreasing amount of credit for the 2nd, 3rd, etc attempt)
  • Students get immediate feedback for scores
  • Students can be provided with grading scheme
  • The order of questions and answers are changed for each student
  • Some questions change numbers within the problem, resulting in different answers
  • For this reason, students may "discuss" (not help) each other on the assignment
• In our class I hope to use this on a weekly basis as a way to extend learning and allow students to monitor their mastery of material in real time.
  • Once the assignment is complete, students are provided with a mark scheme that provides explanations and calculations for their individual exam. This can be downloaded as a pdf file and saved for future reference
  • Here is an example of Aatha's:
